Glistening Gradient Bracelet Beading Pattern

Learn how to make this "Glistening Gradient Bracelet" that beautifully blends three of your favorite colors of beads for the perfect accessory to your wardrobe. Make this versatile design with your choice of beads - we used pearls for a sohpisticated look, bicone crystals for lots of sparkle, and opaque fire-polished beads for a beautiful everyday piece.  We'll show you how to stitch up this Russian spiral stitch bracelet in three wrist sizes - 6.5", 7", and 8" (16.5, 18, 20 cm), and how to adjust the bead count on each end or use a chain extender, for in-between sizes for a perfect fit.

This is a great project for intermediate or advanced beaders. If you're a beginner, we recommend starting with a less complicated Russian spiral stitch (such as our "Twinkling Twirl" design) before tackling this more challenging project.  This detailed beading pattern includes a recommended materials list, bead color information, over 100 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow, step-by-step directions to ensure your success and enjoyment.
